[Craic] Craving a break from Netflix murders and mayhem and stupid fake out whodunnits from Hollywood. Check out Kanopy for something special.

[Rob and Nora Anderson]

Craicers,

Forget CNN and MSNBC.  Head back to history and the mother of all political operas...the French Revolution.  All the characters are there from Danton, St. Just and Robespierre to Talleyrand, Tallien and Foucet.  From chancers who sniffed the wind to radicals who overplayed their hand and on to the clean up hitter, Napoleon, these are the archetypal characters in the momentous game changing drama that ushered in the modern era.  These lectures are the guide for those would attempt to divine the turbulent waters of our own turbulent left and right populist culture wars.  Nothing new under the sun, that’s for sure!

Available free on Kanopy from the Toronto Public Library.

The professor, Dr. Suzanne Dusan, is quirky but absolutely fantastic in delivering the goods in the most nuanced fashion.  I have read Hibbert and Shama on the Revolution, but her presentation is the best.

It took the Catholic Church 170 years to digest this paradigm shift that ushered in the modern era until finally Vatican II.

Back to university in the comfort of your armchair.

Bob
